Local Attractions

Williamstown rests in a high valley between the Green Mountains of Vermont and the Taconics of New York. It is a college town in an old farming community in the homeland of the Mohican people — a home where visitors find not just world-class art, but mountain laurel on the Appalachian Trail.

In the fall, Williams College comes alive. Just feel the energy of creative life, curious minds — from astronomers and activists to journalists and poets, engage their craft. As the trees turn red and gold, visitors can amb;e above the valley, soaking in color and views of Mount Greylock. In both forests and fields, find pollinator gardens, wildlife preserves, migrating birds, river paths, and waterfalls.

Dive into the wonderland of winter and extraordinary culture in the northern Berkshire mountains and make memories for a lifetime. Towns, mountains, and forest trails shimmer in a wintery glow. Restaurants craft delectable specialties from local harvests. Indoors and out, artworks inspire, provoke, and engage. Hotels and inns offer warm comfortable settings from which to stage a visit.

And in spring, the sap houses are boiling, with wood smoke and sweet steam. One can linger over a farm breakfast with locally tapped maple syrup. These days warm into blossoming trees and wildflowers along the Green River.

In the summer, explore art in nature while wandering through 140 acres of walking trails, woodlands, and meadows. Head indoors to experience the Tony Award-winning Williamstown Theatre Festival as world premiere plays and musicals are developed here, often before the works move to New York or across the nation. Actors join in the town’s Fourth of July celebration, reading from some of the country’s founding documents and speeches.

Regardless of the season, Williamstown is a place that is Naturally Gorgeous and Culturally Saturated.
